In the end, under the surveillance of Eldest Son Tu Jinggao, Ye Zhen and his group returned to the small courtyard.
However, along the way, Tu Jinggao showed great interest in the rescued Chi Ling'er.
"Oh? Chi Ling'er has been found? That's wonderful, Qingtong. Which bastard did this?" Tu Jinggao asked in a roundabout way, probing for information.
Hu Qingtong's attitude was exceedingly cold. "We have to thank Big Brother Zhu and Big Brother Ye for helping us. By the time they found the trail and caught up, the person who abducted Chi Ling'er had fled at once. That fellow knew a miraculous escape technique and vanished without a trace in an instant."
Hu Qingtong was lying through her teeth now, casually making up a story that was half true and half false.
As for the truth, only a fool would reveal it.
Whatever Hu Buding's motives had been, Ye Zhen had killed an Executive Dao Realm elder of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. That was absolutely an earth-shaking matter.
"A miraculous escape technique?"
As he pondered this question all the way, Tu Jinggao kept testing them, yet he could not get any useful information from Zhu Hong, Ye Zhen, or Hu Qingtong.
"Qingtong, my father will arrive tomorrow. Once he does, he will come see you immediately. Just wait here in peace." With that, Tu Jinggao left together with the four Dao Realm experts.
Ye Zhen stared at Tu Jinggao's retreating figure for a long while.
"Do you know who controls your Qingqiu Fox Clan's Myriad Fox Returning Heart Formation?"
Since the Myriad Fox Returning Heart Formation was the Qingqiu Fox Clan's final defense, with virtually no way to break it except by force, there was no possibility of Ye Zhen breaking it through brute strength at his current cultivation.
